UV sterilizer question...

[Keaton]

My next investment is gonna be a UV sterilizer but I need some advice. I'd rather have a stand alone type as opposed to an in-line one. I was thinking of putting it in my sump until I realized the model I was looking at has a powerhead built into it. I really don't want that much turbulance in my 20gal. sump do I? Also any reccomendations on wattage? The one I'm looking at is a 9watt. Thanks in advance.

the 9 watt will work i would go with an 18w as a stand alone just remember that anything that pases through it will die including pods.

Dont know that I'd fool with a UV.Seems like more of a waste of money to me.

I ran one for awhile and sold it. I saw no difference running it and it was a 40 watt. I thinj I would spend the money on something else.
